Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Clean Master at none against Master Cleaner's shown. Clean Master also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Master Cleaner's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 56%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clean Master holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clean Master has 11K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Clean Master's written reviews are positive against 74% of Master Cleaner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
